Yes, learning to play bottom tier is important. The problem with the tier 8 mm is that often you end up at the ONLY tier 8 in a tier 10 game. If they had it set so that there were more 8s in the mix, it wouldn't be a problem.
Has anyone else had to fight against this thing yet??? talk about rail guns at any range and super tight dispersion.. This thing is so broken. There's no way they can release this beast as is.
Thoughts?
